Oh boy, oh boy, a Christmas quest?! When you first log into pico, you'll notice a little invitation in your room! Click on it to read the message. In preparation for Christmas, Mr. Shepherd from the New Zealand Pet Farm needs your help between December 16th -27th!
Notice the quest bubble on the upper left hand side of your screen. Click on Mr. Shepherd to see what he wants.
You'll have to move in closer though, he's old and hard of hearing…
He needs your help to collect mushrooms to feed Santa's reindeer! He will give you a basket, and tells you to go to the Mushroom Forest and talk to Tonny, his grandson to learn how to collect mushrooms. You'll find him in the centre of the Mushroom Forest.
Cats really seem to like bi boy...
He'll explain that you need to click on various objects in the forest like grass and tree stumps in order to find 7 mushrooms. The colourful green, red and blue mushrooms are the ones you are looking for. Black mushrooms are poisonous, and will cause your pico to spaz out for a bit, and then fall on the ground!
Once you find all 7, go back to Mr. Shepherd on the Pet Farm and talk to him. He promises that if you return 4 times, he will give you a reindeer plushie!
EXTRA QUEST:
After handing in the 7 mushrooms, Mr. Shepherd mentions something about a secret forest with legendary golden mushrooms…
Return to the Mushroom Forest and speak to Jonny, Mr. Shepherd's other grandson (NPC in blue). Throughout the Mushroom Forest there are lots of pets wandering around, and according to Johnny, crying very loudly… He promises to reveal 7 secrets about the forest if you are able to tell him the gender of a pet…
Don't tell, but here they all are… Shh! :3
Forest Secret No. 1
Golden mushrooms from the Secret Forest bring you fortune; if you find one, something good might happen!
Forest Secret No. 2
The entrance to the Secret Forest is somewhere along the sides of the Mushroom Forest
Forest Secret No. 3
Shining Stumps in the Secret Forest are where the golden mushrooms are at.
Forest Secret No. 4
In the secret forest, you have a higher chance of finding rare pets like pandas, even in rare colours...
Forest Secret No. 6
Mr. Shepherd is probably Santa.
Forest Secret No. 7
There is a secret room at Grandpa's House. To enter, you must: have a golden mushroom, go to the back door of Grandpa's House and do the hello action.
Secret #2 is a little vague, so here is the spot you need to stand to enter the Secret Forest:
In the secret forest, a disoriented girl recalls that her Grandmother said the golden mushrooms grow near white birch trees, but not just any ol' birch tree - specifically shining white birch stumps. Once you've found a golden mushroom, return to the Pet Farm and talk to Mr. Shepherd.
Mr. Shepherd is super excited and can't wait to eat the golden mushroom, In return, he invites you into his secret room! By using the hello action at the house's side door, you can go inside!
There is a cuter than cute reindeer hoodie and hat available for purchase…
Oh and also….
Mr. Shepherd SANTA IS THERE!
Although not all value his presence. (Get it, presents?)
And he wants to give you a present in exchange for finding a golden mushroom!! Take your pick!!
Return in 12 hours with another golden mushroom and Santa will give you another present!
EDIT: So far, I've gotten THREE of these Golden Mushroom Chairs and some Christmas cakes... *grumble, grumble*
Note: It is possible to follow other picos into the secret areas by warping to them, but Santa knows who's been naughty or nice… Little Darby followed peach bi boy in without knocking and Santa wasn't too pleased! Oh ho ho! Hope this doesn't mean I'll be getting a lump of coal…
However, it is a shame to see so many Picos outside the rink, instead of on it! To get onto the rink - as one might expect - you need ice skates! Skates are available from the icy-looking robo for 80 AG or in exchange for a token. I wish that they were available in gummies so that everybody could partake...
